Hi everyone.
I'm afraid I only post here when I have a problem and today is no exception!
I have a Denon UD-M30 CD/receiver as a second system in the bedroom, with the matching SCM51 Denon/Mission speakers in the bedroom and a pair of Eltax Mirage 2i speakers run into the adjacent kitchen.
It gets plenty of use, especially when my wife is cooking, but the CD player is getting increasing problematic. More often that not, it cannot read CDs and shows the track count as zero. If it is turned off/on enough or the CD ejected and reinserted multiple times, it might eventually read the CD contents properly - once this happens the CD will normally play ok. However, once the disk is ejected and another put in, the problem starts again.
This has gradually been getting worse over the last year and my wife has finally lost patience with it so I need to do something before she loses patience with me as well.
So my questions are:
(a) Is it worth trying to repair it? Does it use a commonly available CD transport?
(b) Is there a well rated CD receiver on the market which would be a good replacement with the existing speakers?
I would be grateful for any comments. I got the UD-M30 almost 10 years ago so I am a bit out of touch with what is available now.
Thanks.
